The Real Thing, featuring original vocalists Chris Amoo and Dave Smith, are heading out on their 50th Anniversary Tour. Formed in 1972, the group are widely regarded as Britain's longest-established and best-loved black group in UK entertainment history, and remain pioneers in soul, funk and dance music.

Over the course of their career they scored three Top 10 singles, including the number one hit You To Me Are Everything and the enduring dancefloor favourite Can You Feel The Force. Their music continues to receive regular airplay across major UK radio stations and attracts around two million Spotify streams a month.

2026 marks the 50th anniversary of You To Me Are Everything reaching the top of the charts, making this tour a landmark celebration for both the band and their fans.
